Spring Allergies & Skin: Managing Eczema and Irritation

🌸 Seasonal allergies don’t just affect your sinuses — they can affect your skin too.
During the spring months, pollen and environmental allergens can trigger eczema flare-ups, itching, redness, and irritation. For people with sensitive skin or atopic dermatitis, these seasonal triggers may worsen symptoms.

Dermatologists often recommend gentle cleansers, fragrance-free moisturizers, and targeted prescription treatments to calm inflammation and restore the skin barrier. Managing allergies and keeping skin well hydrated can also help reduce flare-ups.

At MDCS Dermatology, we work with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that help keep eczema under control year-round.

But psoriasis is not typically one of them.”

Oral psoriasis is a rare type of psoriasis that occurs in the mouth, cheeks and tongue. Psoriasis in the mouth is often linked to skin flare ups on other parts of the body.
